Graduate Study in Mathematics at the University of Oregon.
The majority of our graduate students (all but two or three each year)
are supported by Graduate Teaching Fellowships.
In exchange for teaching one undergraduate course
per quarter (three quarters per year), you receive a full
tuition waiver plus a subsistence level salary.
We also guarantee all graduate students
the opportunity to teach a class in the summer session if they wish,
which provides an additional summer salary.
The figures provided are estimates for 9 months of study,
and are for planning purposes only.
Every effort has been made to provide the most accurate information
available about tuition and fees but, until approved by the State Board of
Higher Education, all tuition and fee estimates are subject to change.
This information is based on the information in the
Financial Aid web site.

The primary source of support for our graduate students is
from a Graduate Teaching Fellowship.
If you are awarded a GTF, you receive a full tuition waiver plus a contribution
towards the
non-instructional fees set
by the Oregon University System.
These fees cover various miscellaneous things, including notably
the free Lane Transit District bus pass.
In addition, GTFs in the Department of Mathematics are paid
a salary of $13,000 per 9 month period (as of the
2003/4 academic year).
Most of our GTFs
also choose to teach an additional course in one of the 4 week summer sessions, earning an
additional salary of $2,500 over the summer vacation. This brings the total
salary to $15,500 per year.
Please remember when comparing the salary offered with other institutions
that the cost of living in Eugene is relatively modest compared
to many larger US cities!
Individual health
insurance is also provided for GTFs, and a subsidized rate is
offered for family
members during the academic year. (During the summer, insurance
coverage is not provided at no cost, so individuals must pay for their
own, as well as dependent, coverage.)
There is some additional information about health insurance for
international students on the
Office of Admissions International Student page.

There are some other awards and prizes available to graduate students.
Internally in the math department, we have two prizes each year
($5000 each), one
of which is awarded to a GTF who has shown themselves to be an outstanding
teacher, and the other is awarded to a graduate student who has done
outstanding research. There are also some university-wide fellowships
available, see
You might also consider applying for an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship,
though these are highly competitive:
